Citizens' Climate Lobby

Citizens' Climate Lobby was founded by Marshall Saunders, a Rotarian, who envisions the goal of finding a non-partisan agreement on legislation that can reduce CO2 emissions while stimulating the economy.

Bob’s presentation noted and described the evidence for anthropogenic climate change and proposed an idea for addressing the problem through energy innovation and a carbon dividend tax. This is considered a solution – market driven approach. The group has formed a climate caucus in the house with an equal number of members from both parties. Jack Bergman is a member.

A bill is being introduced in the house called the energy innovation and carbon emission tax. The purpose of the lobby is to extol the positive effects by charging a fee on fossil fuels, and returning that revenue to households as a dividend.
